If you've been following the latest news about Artificial Intelligence in Brazil over the past 24 hours, you may have noticed an interesting pattern emerging: while big tech companies continue to race frantically to invest in AI, we're starting to see a growing appreciation for genuinely human experiences.

As someone who has closely followed the evolution of technology and entrepreneurship in Brazil for more than two decades, I can say that we are living in a unique moment in the history of innovation. Let's analyze the main movements that are shaping this scenario.

The Frenzy Continues

Second report from Valor Econômico, Broadcom CEO Hock Tan predicts that the wave of AI investment will continue until the end of the decade. And no wonder: his company has already surpassed US$1 trillion in market value, riding this wave.

Regulation and Liability

Brazil is not standing still in this scenario. As reported by the Northeast Diary, the country took an important step with Law 2.338/2023, positioning itself at the forefront of discussions on AI regulation. In my experience at Dínamo, where we work on public policies for innovation, I have always argued that we need a regulatory framework that balances innovation and responsibility.

Technological Innovations

THE OpenAI just unveiled its new 'o3' model, with an impressive 96.7% accuracy in testing. This advancement demonstrates how technology is evolving rapidly, something I have observed closely in my work with startups and innovation.

The Return to the Human

But perhaps the most fascinating observation comes from Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. According to report from Exame, he predicts an increase in the consumption of genuinely human experiences, such as theater and sports, as AI advances.

Practical Applications

In the insurance sector, for example, AI is revolutionizing processes and customer experiences. It is a practical example of how technology can improve services while keeping the human element at the center.

Reflections and Learnings

In my career supporting startups and innovation projects, I have learned that technology is most powerful when it amplifies, rather than replaces, our human capabilities. The current moment confirms this view: as investments in AI soar, so does the appreciation for what makes us uniquely human.

For companies and entrepreneurs who want to navigate this complex scenario, I suggest three points of attention:

  • Invest in technology, but don't lose sight of the human element
  • Keep up with emerging regulations
  • Seek to balance innovation with social responsibility

If you are looking to better understand how to implement AI in your business or want to discuss innovation strategies that balance technology and humanity, I am available for a conversation. My experience with startups, corporations and the public sector can help you chart a clearer path in this challenging scenario.
